Same. Mixed-race (Black/White), but I tend to just check “African-American” or “Black” because not every form lets you check more than one.

After having home schooled my child for 3 months, I’m not trying to put this sort of stress on my kid’s teacher. She not only has my cute, but sometimes kind-of-an-asshole kid to deal with, but 29 other kids just like her. And then you want her to wear a mask and keep six feet away or as much distance as possible? Or…

I am tired of this bull. The federal government does not want to admit they screwed up so they are going to double-down on the hoax of “everything will be okay if we ignore it” line.

Maybe he means he only likes anatomically modern humans. No habilis or erectus, please, and Denisovans and Neanderthals are iffy.

Just my childless teacher 2 cents, so take with a grain of salt. If you (as a woman) define your life as a #boymom, it makes my life as said boy's teacher a bit difficult.  These boys, as middle schoolers, are very emotional that their teacher doesn't adore them with the intensity of their mom.  I genuinely like most…

this is the first time the phrase hanging chad has crossed my mind in almost 20 years...

Or about sex education and contraception, which can help prevent the abortions that they hate so much.

My last break-up was weird. I was miserable the weeks leading up to it because I knew I was losing him and didn’t want to. When he finally dumped me (by ghosting, no less*) I was a basket case for two days, walking wounded for two, but then after that it was like he’d never even been there. Made me wish I ended it…

We just want it so bad and we’re so very dumb and sorry.

I have lived in Albuquerque for almost 25 years now, for what it’s worth:

And a good 2019 to you!!

SEVEN MONTHS and he ghosted you?!?!!? Good god. That’s horrid. Jesus, I thought the post-it story from SATC was bad.

I’m sorry about your grandmother.

My mum started chemo New Years day for leukemia. Yesterday she brushed her hair and a big clump fell out. My heart is breaking for her, she’s trying to be strong and put on a brave face for me and i’m trying to do the same for her. I don’t know why I’m putting this out into the void I just need to get it off my chest

The ghoster was a coward and not worthy.

He truly is. I found him at the FAO Schwartz in Chicago nineteen years ago, and we've been squishy friends ever since. Every time I have moved, he's traveled buckled into the front seat. He'll make the move to Cleveland the same way if I get the job.

I hope you do something nice for yourself. I’ve been estranged almost 8 months from my family (we could have the same mom and sis). I am nervous about my birthday in 42 days because it’s the first one where I won’t be on edge and feeling like I’ve done something terribly wrong.

Ghosting after 7 months? WTF. That’s something that is only acceptable if you’ve had less than 3 dates. I’m really sorry that happened to you. Also, I am betting they’ll contact you again in a month or two ( cynical me thinks after Valentine’s).

I’m glad you have a friend to stay with right now. I have no real advice, but I thought of this quote when I read your post:

So very sorry to hear it.  Wishing you a wonderful transition to love!
